    After Columbine over 10,000 school police officers were hired just in case a school shooting happened. Two decades later, they haven't stopped a *single* school shooting. Instead they've arrested over 1 million kids, mostly students of color, for routine behavior violations.

    40% of all black men in the state of Florida just became eligible to vote *today.* Think about that.

    No mail. No healthcare. No jobs. No free or fair elections. Banned from the rest of the world. Our taxes blown on giveaways to corrupt corporations and institutions. Police violence against anyone who challenges this arrangement. We’re living in a failed state, no doubt about it.

    No bank executives arrested for laundering $670,000,000 in drug cartel money. But jump a turnstile and get arrested or shot for $2.90.

    TD Bank fined $3 billion for enabling drug cartel money laundering, the largest penalty of its kind in U.S. history.

    Walz not only sobered up and turned his life around but then became Governor and signed the Minnesota Clean Slate Act to enable 500,000+ people to seal their past arrest records, giving them a second chance too.

    Since Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is officially being reported as a favorite to become the VP pick for Kamala Harris. Here he is pictured from his DUI arrest where he was going 96 in a 55. He then lied to police about being deaf in an attempt to avoid his arrest.

    America is a place where a black man has a greater chance of being arrested for going to Starbucks than a white man who commits treason in front of the entire world.

    If black people had voted 68% for a pedophile last night, the media would be spending all day questioning the moral character of black families and communities.

    $10,400,000,000 NYPD budget and they couldn’t get their radios to work in a crisis, the surveillance cameras “malfunctioned” and no officers prevented anything or apprehended anyone. But politicians plan to just throw more money at it, no questions asked.

    Kamala Harris just convinced Senate Republicans to put Trump judicial appointments on hold pending the impeachment trial and that’s one of the most consequential things Democrats have won from Republicans in a while.

    Could’ve had $25,000 to buy a house $6,000 child credit $50,000 business credit But you went for the $1200 check that’s never happening. And now prices are going to go up $3000/year from tariffs alone, with no stimulus checks in sight.

    Some voters are hoping President-elect Donald Trump may send out another stimulus check. Experts say the likelihood of this is extremely slim. cbsn.ws/4hZrqlH

    Three of those four Minneapolis police officers who got fired today were fired because organizers successfully pressured the city in 2016 to adopt a policy requiring officers to intervene whenever they witness another officer using excessive force. #icantbreathe
